Go

I make no secret of the fact that I love Go. I think it’s a wonderfully designed language and it gave me nothing but pleasure in the years I’ve been working with it full time.

Go is often described as a simple language. It is not, it just seems that way. Rob explains how Go’s simplicity hides a great deal of complexity, and that both the simplicity and complexity are part of the design.

A few days ago I posted about a new Go package called validator that we initially developed for our own internal use at project7.io but what fun is internal stuff, right?

The thing about working in a startup under stealth mode is you can’t often talk about what you’re doing. Thankfully, from time to time, an opportunity appears that lets us at least share something tangential.

This weekend I took the family to celebrate Father’s Day away from town. We went around getting to know parts of the province we live in and never been to.

This was surprising to me. For fun I picked one of the Euler algorithms I played with in the past and rewrote it in Go. The idea was to rewrite it idiomatically to see how different things might look.
